[ I went to my friend's house and helped her pull off the binding, cut all the ties and then she used batting that she had purchased. Got it put back together and tied it again, same as it was. The quilt has been washed numerous times since and hasn't fallen apart.[/quote]
Ouch!! I guess I'm lucky, because my first quilt teacher, who is an award-winning expert, became one of my very best friends, and has saved me from a lot of unintentional mistakes, bless her heart! At least you and your friend can laugh about it together (now that it's in the past) and you know that SHE knows the effort you put into the quilt!! LOL
